"Ready... Set... No!!!" lyrics

"Ready... Set... No!!!"

I never was a drinker, now I'm an alcoholic
Drinking just to fall asleep and hiding my smiles
'Cause you can probably smell that shit on my teeth
Drink it down, golden brown my sweet whiskey
You feel nice on the inside, so nice on the inside
So nice on the inside, so let's get pissed

I never cried at movies, now I cry at the Simpsons
Hide the tears so you can't see, and I wipe my eyes
And I pretend that I'm just falling asleep
Don't come around, I've already destroyed everything
I'm not coming outside. I'm not coming outside
I've blown my only chance, so don't make me do anything

From the moment it was up to us to break the rules and disobey
I'd trade it all in for an easy answer to let me raise my fist and say
"No, thanks!"

I'm a target audience
Paranoia setting in
I can't have a conversation
You're just like the other kids
I'm well aware that they monitor my thoughts
And if you count on me for anything, I'm sorry, but you're totally fucked
You're fucked. Everybody's out of luck
I'm just a kid who wants to get drunk
It's nighttime. Look outside
It's nighttime. Look outside
It's nighttime. Look outside
Let's go drink 'til we can't feel shit

From the moment it was up to us to break the rules and disobey
I'd trade it all in for an easy answer to let me raise my fist and say
"No way!"

I gotta find something that's wrong with everything
So now I'm all alone
Forget solutions, I'll be at the bar drinking
Forgetting everything I know

Then when the record stores start falling then it's up to us to break rules
Stop sitting in your room watching advertisements and disobey
Put down the bottle, get a megaphone and shout it to the world:
No way, no way

No thanks
No thanks
No thanks
No thanks
No thanks
No thanks
No thanks
No thanks
